MuD, 2004 (val vibrata)

Bio:MuD was born in Val Vibrata (Teramo) in the Spring of 2004. Frank (drummer), Dedo (guitarist) and Mauro a.k.a AldoHC’s (singer) first came up with the idea of a new band, united by the passion of cross-over and driven by desire to play. Mud started playing live performances once Garçon (guitarist) and Panino (bassist) joined the band. In 2006 Sandro Di Vitantonio was recruited as a bassist and in the same year the group including Sandro recorded a first demo entitle ‘Promo 2006’. The work was deemed to be hasty with sloppy sound, however it’s focus was to make the audience to understanding the intention of the group (i.e. the impact of cross-over, with some hard core grain). In 2007 and 2008 the group saw a scope of working together with other Italian underground groups. During these years, HC influence grew, and the new tracks acquired speed and heaviness. In the Winter of 2008 Sandro left the group for some personal motives, and was replaced by Mirko Iobbi (Mestruophagia,ex MK77); with him they recorded the second full lenght. "Slow Degradation" was released with a lag,i.e. in 2009 January. The new EP, self-made, includes just 3 tracks(+intro) with a sound and a recording finally excellent. In April 2009, Frank (drummer) one of the founding members the band left the group for personal reasons. MuD founded a new drummer, Valerio Valeri, ex Degenero's drummer and he came from a tradition of an HC Old School style. However, the band was forced to undergo further changes in February 2010; When Mirko Iobbi left the MUD after a year and a half, and Daniele,member of Bloodraised was replaced in January 2011 by Ilaria. Mud decided not to replace a new guitarist after Dedo (one of the founding members) left the band for personal reasons. The group continued to operate with four members. This changes in line up did not hinder the group’s commitment to it’s live performance gigs. The year 2011 is the long awaited first full length, entitled "Violence Against Violence", recorded completely DIY, and out for the independent label Audiozero Records.Several gigs around Italy follow the release of VAV, but early the
life of the band will be marked by the decision to abandon of Garçon,
and a
few months later by that of Valerio; these changes makes not derail
the band, however, and the project re-starts greatly thanks to the
sudden winning purchase of Luca B (Ex Violent Minority) on guitar and
Sapo (T.E.N.E.T., Former Violent Minority ) on drums.
Fortunately, after a period of stop from live, Garçon wised up and
decided to return to join the band, and so now here we are, Aldo,
Garçon, Ilaria, Luca B and Sapo tasting stages (and floors) and grinding
hundreds of kilometers from the Alps to Sicily, and even in Europe,
always full of fun, "cups" and hardcore!
In fact, in the spring of 2013 Mud, together with theyr brothers
Vibratacore, released their first European tour through Croatia,
Hungary, Czech Republic and Germany.
After another summer full of live activity (Pescara HC, San Metallo,
Rozz' Fest, La Raje HC Fest...), the band begins the autumn opening
gigs of two big bands, Cripple Bastards and Rise Of The Northstar.
The year ended with the participation at the CBC fest in Caserta and
with the intention of recording a new album in early 2014...
And so it is! On April 17, the new album is finally out:
"FROM THE BOTTOM" (deliberated quote to our spiritual master Lou X),
a totally DIY album also co-produced by DIY labels, and with this album
a new season of live gigs, drunkenness and disease opens!
